Baina did not return to the city, but walked into the family area of the Hongqi Steel Factory. Under the dim street lights, the dormitories from the 1980s looked particularly old, which reminded her of her childhood.
She knocked on the door of a house at random, and the person who opened the door was an old lady. She asked with a suspicious look on her face: "Girl, who are you looking for?"
Baina showed her press card: "Aunt, I am a reporter from Huaijiang Daily and I would like to interview you."
"The old man is not at home. I can't read. You can come back another day." The old lady hurriedly closed the door. Suddenly, Bai Na saw Wei Shumin's portrait hanging in the room. She suddenly had an idea and felt that there must be something to dig out of this family. She
He quickly said: "Auntie, I just want to talk to you about Mr. Wei."
As soon as Mr. Wei was mentioned, the old lady's tone suddenly softened: "Where did you say you were a reporter just now?"
"Huaijiang Daily is the provincial newspaper of our Jiangdong Province. The leader sent me to find out about General Wei's deeds." Baina said sincerely.
"Huaijiang Daily... That's a party newspaper. My child, come in quickly. Do the provincial leaders know about our factory?" The old lady suddenly became enthusiastic. She invited Baina into the room and poured tea.
Giving up her seat again, Baina scanned the furnishings in the room. An old 21-inch TV was placed on the chest of drawers. There were piles of clutter everywhere. There was also a faded Double Happiness sticker on the door of one bedroom. It seemed like this
Every household has at least two generations living under one roof.
There was a chopping board in the center of the narrow living room, with wrapped dumplings and a bowl of dumpling fillings on it. The old lady brought out a bowl of hot dumplings and said, "My daughter hasn't eaten yet. Eat it while it's hot."
Baina has a lively and cheerful personality, so she will not lie when faced with this situation. She smiled and said: "Then I'm not polite." She took the rice bowl and ate a dumpling, praising: "Shepherd's purse meat stuffing, so delicious."
The old lady smiled kindly: "If it tastes good, eat more."
Of course, Baina was not a foodie. She ate a few and started asking, "Auntie, why do you have President Wei's photo hanging in your house?"
The old lady's eye circles immediately turned red, and she sighed and said, "Shu Min, this child is having a hard time. I have been raising a child alone for so many years, and my life has finally become a bit rushed, and I am in such a hurry to leave... Oh, we can eat dumplings,
It was Shumin who sacrificed her life for it. Not to mention hanging her picture in our house, there are thousands of families in the whole factory with tens of thousands of people. Who doesn't regard Shumin as their lifesaver?"
Baina stopped her chopsticks and secretly turned on the recorder.
The old lady was very talkative. She started talking about it when Wei Shumin was young. When it came to the first time when Xuanwu Group annexed the iron ore and coking plant of Hongqi Factory, the old man came back. It was the old man who delivered dumplings in front of General Wei's funeral.
Worker.
"What is this?" the old man asked doubtfully.
"A reporter from the provincial newspaper is here to interview Shumin's deeds," the old lady introduced.
The old worker was in awe and shook hands with Baina repeatedly: "Thank you to the provincial leaders for their care. The deeds of General Health must be well publicized. She is a good cadre of our factory and an outstanding member of our party."
After some conversation, Baina found out that this old worker was the first generation of Hongqi Iron Man. He had been Wei Shumin's master in the 1980s, and now he has retired. He also has a son at home who is in his thirties and is also working in Hongqi.
I work in a factory and got married last year. However, I was arrested by the police some time ago because I had a fight with the security guards of the Xuanwu Group. I am still in custody in the detention center. My wife has also returned to her parents' home. Now only the old couple are left at home.
"Shumin is such a strong child. She sacrificed herself and saved the whole factory by jumping. If Xuanwu Group continues to engage in reorganization and relocation, it is probably time to move it to the family area." The old worker wiped away tears.
said.
Baina also felt a bit blocked in her throat.
Back in the guest house, Baina took out her laptop and voice recorder and began to sort out the information. She almost cried while sorting it out. After sorting it out, she started to write the manuscript, but no matter how she wrote, she was not satisfied.
As a talented woman, she felt at this moment that her writing skills were so pale and she could not express even one-tenth of the great glory of President Wei.
…
While Baina was working hard on the manuscript, the Xuanwu Group Jiangbei Branch building was lit up all night, luxury cars were parked downstairs, and all senior leaders were still having heated discussions in the conference room.
Chen Runing died suddenly, and the development direction of Xuanwu Group became the biggest problem. In recent years, the group has developed rapidly and has performed well in various fields. However, it also presents the problem of spreading too widely and having tight funds. Moreover, due to Chen Runing's super
With his strong personal ability, after he passed away, there was no strong person who could take over such a large business.
Xuanwu Group has many industries in Jiangbei. Among them, the largest investment is the Nantai Industrial Park project, followed by the affordable housing and commercial housing community projects in the east of the city. In addition, there are also some coal mines, iron mines, coking plants and other industries, which can be said to have accounted for
More than half of the group's business volume is due to its rapid expansion. There are many strong men in the group like Nie Wanlong and Yin Zhijian who are unwilling to be lonely. Xuanwu Group is like a court after the death of the emperor, with ambitious civil servants and generals appearing one after another.
, strive to maximize your own interests.
Mai Kangmei is the wife of Chen Runing, the mother of Chen Xuanwu, and the sister of Governor Mai. Logically speaking, she should take over the company at this time, but this woman who comes from a cadre family has been pampered since she was a child, and even more so after marriage.
Her husband takes care of everything. She still has some abilities when it comes to shopping, yelling and cursing, but she just doesn't have enough energy to control such a large group.
Seeing a group of vice presidents and directors arguing in front of her, Mai Kangmei felt her head buzzing. She slammed the table and shouted: "Shut up!"
There was a sudden silence. After all, the Xuanwu Group is a family business. Now, besides the Crown Prince Chen Xuanwu, the biggest one is this lady.
"I don't care what you argue about, but the biggest problem now is how to organize Lao Chen's funeral. The rules in Lao Chen's hometown are that people who die in a foreign land must have their funerals held locally. You guys can see how to arrange it."
Everyone looked at each other, but they soon saw an opportunity. If they could take this opportunity to show off in front of Madam, it would be of great benefit to their status in the group.
Nie Wanlong was the first to express his position: "Mr. Chen passed away suddenly. I lost the best brother in the world. I beg my sister-in-law to let me preside over Mr. Chen's funeral."
Others also expressed that they would try their best to organize the funeral. After listening to their expressions of loyalty, Mai Kangmei nodded and said: "Thank you everyone, I think it is better to let Xiao Mu handle the specific matters. Lao Chen was the best before his death."
I trust him and always treat him as my son."
Mu Lianheng, who had been sitting in the corner without speaking for a long time, stood up. In just two days, he had become haggard, with a shaggy beard and a disheveled tie.
"Auntie, I will definitely organize Mr. Chen's funeral." Mu Lianheng bowed deeply to Mai Kangmei and sat back.
"Then let's do it. Xuanwu will be back tomorrow and you can discuss it."
…
The next morning, Chen Xuanwu's special plane landed at Jiangbei Airport. Mu Lianheng led the staff to pick him up. Chen Xuanwu, who was tired from work, came down from the gangway. Mu Lianheng went up and cried bitterly: "Xuanwu, I didn't take care of him."
Good Mr. Chen."
When Chen Runing's accident happened, Chen Xuanwu was still traveling in Europe. After getting the news, he rushed back overnight. However, heavy snow fell across Europe and Asia and the airports were closed, so he was still two days late.
Chen Xuanwu stepped forward and hugged Mu Lianheng, biting his lips tightly, and a few words burst out from between his teeth: "Find the murderer and cut his body into pieces!"
Mu Lianheng's pupils contracted inadvertently, and he said sadly: "Both the black and white teams are investigating this matter. I believe that the truth will be revealed soon. Xuanwu, the most important thing now is to let Mr. Chen rest in peace."
"I know, I'd better leave this matter to you. Come back and give me a plan." Chen Xuanwu patted Mu Lianheng's shoulder. Someone next to him stepped forward and put a long black windbreaker on Chen Xuanwu's shoulders.
They followed him away.
The mighty motorcade left the airport and drove towards the city. Along the way, Mu Lianheng introduced the internal situation of the group to Chen Xuanwu. The two were college classmates and had a good relationship. They knew everything. When Chen Xuanwu heard that his father
After the chaos on the board of directors after his death, he said angrily: "These old fools really take themselves seriously. In the end, they are not doing the job for my Chen family."
Mu Lianheng forced a smile, and Chen Xuanwu seemed to realize something and said: "You are different. You are my brother. I can't trust these guys. Now you are the only one I can rely on."
"Xuanwu, Mr. Chen treats me like a father and son, and you treat me like a brother. My life belongs to the Chen family. Whatever you say, I will listen to you."
"In this way, after the funeral is over, you draw up a list and list all those who are displeased and disobedient. Then I appoint you as the general manager. We brothers will work together to expand the group's size tenfold, so that dad's spirit will be in heaven.
I can also rest in peace, do you think it’s okay?”
"Brothers are of the same mind!" Mu Lianheng stretched out a hand.
"It's sharp enough to break gold!" Chen Xuanwu also stretched out his hand, and his two young palms clattered in the air.
Returning to the branch building, Chen Xuanwu walked toward the door surrounded by bodyguards, assistant secretaries, and the staff he met along the way were all wearing black suits with white flowers on their chests. When they saw the prince, they all bowed and said: "Hello, Mr. Chen, sorry Mr. Chen.
.”
Chen Xuanwu didn't even look at them. He strode into the lobby, got on the elevator, and arrived at his father's office on the top floor. Mai Kangmei was packing Chen Runing's belongings here. Mother and son burst into tears, with Mu Lianheng beside him.
After crying a lot, Chen Xuanwu said: "Mom, why don't you go back to the provincial capital to hold a funeral?"
Mai Kangmei said: "You kid, you are still ignorant. At this juncture, you can't cause trouble for your uncle. Besides, your father was killed by Jiangbei guys. I just want to have a grand show here."
Funeral, let them see the strength of our family, and also see the reaction of Jiangbei official circles, after all, the group's focus has shifted here."
